I can understand someone not liking the voice or the songs.

If I ever met Dolly Parton for sure, I would just not be able to say anything. I love her.

I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.

I don't look at people's expressions, because I still get nervous when I play, especially when I first put the harp up there. I just try to tune - it takes me a half-hour to tune, and I get nervous if I look at anybody when I do it.

We are blessed and sustained by what is not said

People are often afraid for me. They think that I am going to break. I can make it through a set.

People in San Francisco and the East Bay have shown interest, done interviews, and have come to shows. I guess that the news travels fast out of this island that we are on.
